Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Microsoft Office
  • CIFS/SMB

Issue

  • When a Microsoft Office document is opened in Read&Write mode for editing by one user, and another user attempts to open the document, the second user is allowed to open the document in Read&Write mode.
  • The expectation is when the second user opens the same file in Read/Write mode, error "The document is locked for editing by another user" should be received by the first user.
